This training must include each of the following topics:

OCFS offers online training using several unique and innovative delivery methods to meet the needs of child care providers throughout New York State.
OCFS will not approve credit toward required training hours for completing the same online training more than once within a two year period. The website will still allow users to log in and review trainings already completed, allowing trainees to refresh their recollection of previously learned material. Training credit, however, will only be awarded the first time that a specific online course is complete within any two year training period.

The Pyramid Model is a conceptual frame-work of evidence-based practices
for promoting young children’s healthy social and emotional development.
Who uses the Pyramid Model?
The Pyramid Model provides guidance for early childhood special education personnel; early intervention personnel; early educators; families, other professionals. If you are interested in program-wide implementation or just the basics contact us today.
Program-wide Implementation Program-wide implementation of the Pyramid Model refers to a systemic effort within a program for Pyramid Model implementation fidelity. In program-wide implementation, a leadership team guides the implementation process and develops the supports and infrastructure needed to ensure that implementation of the Pyramid Model can occur within the classrooms and services provided to children and their families. The Leadership Team, with representation from program administrators and practitioners, is focused on the ongoing process of supporting the implementation of the Pyramid Model and using data-based decision-making to guide implementation efforts and monitor outcomes. Program-wide implementation might also be called Program-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PW-PBIS), Early Childhood Positive Behavior Support (EC-PBS) or a Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) to address social, emotional, and behavioral needs.
The program-wide implementation model ensures that programs are attending to both the implementation of evidence-based practices and the development of the infrastructure to support the durable implementation of those practices. Programs that have used this approach have experienced the following:
- Reductions in child challenging behaviors
- Increases in children’s social skills
- Increased satisfaction of program staff and families
- Reduced turnover in the program
- Increases in teachers’ competence and confidence in the support of children
- Changes in classroom and program climate
- Sustained implementation of the Pyramid Model
